I don't play it a ton, but didn't want to completely lose the possibility of playing especially when friends or young family members come to visit.

What made you want to change to KDE? Was it an issue with Mint's (Cinnamon?) that made you want to change?
Okay that makes sense. Thanks!
Okay I'll try out a few and keep notes on which ones I prefer until I make that "final" decision.
Yes dual booting seems to be the way to go for a while so I've got my toes in the water but not lost the safety net just yet!
Yeah that's what has made me apprehensive to be honest. I feel pretty comfortable in windows doing many things, and my wife has a MacBook that I'm also pretty comfortable using so learning a new, third OS does seem obtuse. I like the idea of having more control over the software, but don't want to lose the "it just works" feeling of an OS or software I am used to using.
Thank you for the suggestion!
Thank you! When people say "customizing" (throughout this thread and others) what are they referencing? For instance, just the desktop layout/formatting, or the way the files are structured, or the kinds of software they are using for tasks?
That's true, most of what I do would be in a browser as a casual user. My work laptop would still be running Windows and doing what I "need" (Excel, SolidWorks, etc.) Although I want to keep the ability to torrent and manage my media files nicely, I'm open to using different softwares than I'm used to for those.
Okay great! What made you make that jump?
What makes it the best, in terms of distro and desktop experience?
Thank you for the response!
